@RutgersAltRoute A5 making sure that students are informed of their resources is key in supporting their social emotional needs - especially when it comes to bullying. First they must know what is/isn’t acceptable. Then they need to know how to seek support. #teachered#safeschools
Students can bully others, they can be bullied, or they may witness bullying. For our final question, think about the social and emotional needs of those involved in bullying #TeacherEd#SafeSchools
@RutgersAltRoute A4 HIB presents many challenges for teachers that most times, on the 2nd grade level, we can turn into learning opportunities. Working with the school counselors we can create social emotional lessons that help students focus on treating each other fairly #teachered#safeschools
Reflect on your knowledge and understanding of harassment, intimidation, and bullying (HIB) from course readings and your experience to respond to Question 4 #TeacherEd#SafeSchools
@RutgersAltRoute We use ClassTag as a communication system to share news and updates with families. At the beginning of the year I send out information about our HIB policies and share online resources provided by our district #teachered#safeschools
During last Saturday's #EdTech chat, it was noted that technology can foster collaboration. For Question 3, share your practices (high-tech and low-tech) for collaborating with families and colleagues to create a safe learning environment for all students #TeacherEd#SafeSchools
@RutgersAltRoute A2 in my second grade classroom the expectations are clear that we treat others the way we want to be treated. We use the responsive classroom model to foster community amongst students differences. #teachered#safeschools
For Question 2, reflect on the materials you’ve read and your professional experience. Consider sharing factors that may be specific to your content area and grade level #TeacherEd#SafeSchools
@RutgersAltRoute A1: each morning we set the tone of a safe learning environment in our classroom by starting off with a pledge to be respectful, kind, and cooperative. #teachered#safeschools
To start us off, here's Question 1! When considering your "practices", you can think about your classroom management, curriculum, instructional practices, the academic/social/emotional skills you teach, and the physical/virtual space of your classroom #TeacherEd#SafeSchools
@RutgersAltRoute A5 I use an app called ClassTag to engage students’ families. This is a great tool for sharing announcements, supplemental resources, and for sending quick updates. It also allows the parents to message me quickly and easily from their mobile devices. #TeacherEd#EdTech
For our 5th and final question, we want to hear your ideas for engaging students' families. Consider what you already do or what you want to try next year to connect learning and form partnerships with families that can impact student success. #TeacherEd#EdTech
@RutgersAltRoute A4 I see the prominence of AI as a scary new challenge for teachers. In a world where convenience is at the forefront, we still need to teach our students to do things for themselves. This is a barrier I’m hesitant to cross with technology #TeacherEd#EdTech
Technology has become an integral part of teachers' professional practice. For Question 4, let’s explore the benefits and unique challenges that educators must navigate. Consider any that may be specific to your content area and grade. #TeacherEd#EdTech
@RutgersAltRoute A3 My grade level partners and I use Planbook, an online lesson planning tool to build our lesson strands and units. We like this tool because we can share lessons with each other easily. As a new teacher it has been a great resource for me. #TeacherEd#EdTech
For Q3, consider the role of technology in your collaboration practices with colleagues, both within your school & through professional organizations. Collaboration is an opportunity for teachers to seek advice, wisdom, & assistance from their fellow educators. #TeacherEd#EdTech
